Record processing information

All sections describe changes that may affect local system processing of OCLC-MARC records.

Cataloging and local system or automation staff.

Online Installation

August 2014, unless otherwise noted. Installations of this OCLC-MARC Update may occur in stages, which OCLC will announce via logon Messages of the Day, Connexion News, and the OCLC-CAT listserv.

OCLC strongly recommends not using new capabilities, new fields and subfields, new indicators, new practices, and new codes until OCLC announces that they may be used.

New fields, subfields, and indicators: These may be used in Record Manager and both Connexion interfaces after OCLC announces that they may be used.

Note: For access points in fields 110, 111, 610, 611, 710, 711, 810, and 811 where a repeated ‡c would be appropriate, but the corresponding authorized form is found in the authority file without a repeated ‡c, follow the coding practice as found in the authority file. If the access point is controlled to an authority record that currently lacks a repeated ‡c, the access point in the bibliographic record will be updated in the future when the authority record is adjusted to including the repeated ‡c.

Name Authority Cooperative (NACO) participants should not use the authority format changes in section two at this time. The Library of Congress and OCLC will announce the implementation of these elements for use in name and subject authority records at a future date.

New codes: These may be used in Record Manager and both Connexion interfaces after OCLC announces that they may be used.

New searching and indexing capabilities: All new searching and indexing capabilities will be available in both Connexion interfaces (client and browser) in the future. OCLC will announce availability via logon Messages of the Day, Connexion News, and the OCLC-CAT listserv.

After installation, all indexing changes will gradually become apparent as WorldCat is re-indexed.

Database scans

OCLC will convert data to their new formats where appropriate to the extent that is possible.

Qualifying information (R) A brief statement of qualifying information concerning the item associated with a number being recorded in subfield ‡a or subfield ‡z.

Revised subfield definition

‡c

Terms of availability Price or a brief statement of availability and any parenthetical qualifying information about availability. Information is only recorded in this subfield when a number is present in subfield ‡a.

Location of meeting (R). Formerly, (NR) Place name or a name of an institution where a meeting was held. Multiple adjacent locations are contained in a repeatable subfield ‡c. Place name added parenthetically to a corporate name as a qualifier is not separately subfield coded.

Note: For access points in fields 110, 111, 610, 611, 710, 711, 810, and 811 where a repeated ‡c would be appropriate, but the corresponding authorized form is found in the authority file without a repeated ‡c, follow the coding practice as found in the authority file.

265 Source for Acquisition/Subscription Address (NR)

Field invalidated

Conversion

Instances of field 265 subfield ‡a will be converted to 037subfield ‡b.

Field Link and Sequence Number (R) Identifies linked fields and may also propose a sequence for the linked fields. Subfield ‡8 may be repeated to link a field to more than one other group of fields. You are responsible for creating and maintaining the link. (The system does not create or maintain these links). The structure and syntax for the field link and sequence number subfield is:

‡8 [linking number].[sequence number]\[field link type]

When used, subfield ‡8 is always the first subfield in the field.

Note: Subfield ‡8 is defined differently in field 852, where it is used to sequence related holdings records.

Subfield ‡8 has three parts:

Linking number is the first data element in the subfield and required if the subfield is used. It is a variable-length whole number that occurs in subfield ‡8 in all fields that are to be linked. Fields with the same linking number are considered linked.

Sequence number is separated from the linking number by a period '.' and is optional. It is a variable-length whole number that may be used to indicate the relative order for display of the linked fields (lower sequence numbers display before higher ones). If it is used it must occur in all ‡8 subfields containing the same linking number.

Field link type is separated from preceding data by a reverse slash '\'. It is a code indicating the reason for the link and it follows the link number, or sequence number if present. Field link type is required except when ‡8 is used to link and sequence 85X-87X holdings fields. The following one-character field link type codes have been defined in MARC for use in subfield ‡8.

Field link type codes

a

Action Links one or more fields with another field to which the processing or reference actions relate. This code is typically used only when there is more than one 5xx field that relates to another 5xx field.

c

Constituent item Used in a record for a collection, or a single item consisting of identifiable constituent units, to link the fields relating to the constituent units. All other non-linked data elements in the record pertain to the collection or item as a whole.

p

Metadata provenance Used in a record to link a field with another field containing information about provenance of the metadata recorded in the linked field.

r

Reproduction Used in a record for a reproduction to identify fields linked because they contain information concerning only the reproduction. Other descriptive information in the record pertains to the original (with the exception of field 007 (Physical Description Fixed Field), Fixed Field Form, field 245 subfield ‡h (Title Statement / Medium), and field 533 (Reproduction Note)).

x

General sequencing Used in a record to make a link between fields to show a sequence between them. The sequence could be one that orders the pieces of a long field that has been broken up, indicates the relative importance of fields within the sequence, or is used for some other sequencing purpose. Use of the sequence number in ‡8 is required when this code is used.

385 Audience Characteristics (R)

New field

Definition

A category of persons for which a resource is intended or a category of persons representing the intellectual level for which the content of a resource is considered appropriate.

If a demographic group is not specified then multiple audience characteristics from the same source vocabulary or code list may be recorded in the same field in separate occurrences of subfield ‡a and subfield ‡b. If a demographic group is specified then the characteristics in the field must all come from the same group. Terms from different source vocabularies are recorded in separate occurrences of the field.

See MARC Code List for Organizations ( http://www.loc.gov/marc/organizations/) for a listing of organization codes and Standard Identifier Source Codes ( http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/standard-identifier.html) for code systems for standard identifiers. Subfield ‡0 is repeatable for different control numbers or identifiers. Local authority identifiers may be entered in subfield ‡0 locally, but should not be added to master records in WorldCat.
